Key FindingsDiabetic patients prescribed tirzepatide, semaglutide, dulaglutide, and exenatide are less likely to be diagnosed with depression after starting the medication compared to those not on a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1) medication. The likelihood of anxiety in diabetic patients is lower for those on all five GLP-1 medications studied. Among non-diabetic patients, semaglutide is correlated with… Continue reading Most #GLP-1 Medications Correlated with a Lower Likelihood of #Anxiety and #Depression Diagnoses

Vitamin #D and Marine n-3 #Fatty Acids for #Autoimmune Disease Prevention: Outcomes at Two Years after VITAL Trial Completion
ObjectiveIn the 5.3 year randomized, 2 x 2 factorial, double-blind, placebo-controlled VITamin D and OmegA-3 TriaL (VITAL), vitamin D supplementationreduced autoimmune disease (AD) incidence (hazard ratio [HR] 0.78, 95% confidence interval 0.61-0.99). Omega-3(n-3) fatty acid supplementation showed a statistically non-significant reduction (HR 0.85, 0.67-1.08). We aimed to confirm further AD cases arising during and after randomization and… Continue reading Vitamin #D and Marine n-3 #Fatty Acids for #Autoimmune Disease Prevention: Outcomes at Two Years after VITAL Trial Completion
Post-diagnostic #multivitamin supplement use and #colorectal cancer survival: A prospective cohort study
AbstractBackgroundUse of multivitamin supplements has been associated with lower incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, its influence on CRC survival remains unknown.MethodsAmong 2424 patients with stage I–III CRC who provided detailed information about multivitamin supplements in the Nurses’ Health Study and Health Professionals Follow-up Study, the authors calculated multivariable hazard ratios (HRs) of multivitamin supplements… Continue reading Post-diagnostic #multivitamin supplement use and #colorectal cancer survival: A prospective cohort study
Effect of #Tai Chi vs Aerobic #Exercise on Blood #Pressure in Patients With PrehypertensionA Randomized Clinical Trial
Importance Prehypertension increases the risk of developing hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases. Early and effective intervention for patients with prehypertension is highly important.Objective To assess the efficacy of Tai Chi vs aerobic exercise in patients with prehypertension.Design, Setting, and Participants This prospective, single-blinded randomized clinical trial was conducted between July 25, 2019, and January 24, 2022, at 2… Continue reading Effect of #Tai Chi vs Aerobic #Exercise on Blood #Pressure in Patients With PrehypertensionA Randomized Clinical Trial
Elevated body #temperature is associated with #depressive symptoms: results from the TemPredict Study
Correlations between altered body temperature and depression have been reported in small samples; greater confidence in these associations would provide a rationale for further examining potential mechanisms of depression related to body temperature regulation. We sought to test the hypotheses that greater depression symptom severity is associated with (1) higher body temperature, (2) smaller differences… Continue reading Elevated body #temperature is associated with #depressive symptoms: results from the TemPredict Study
Dietary #Niacin Intake and Mortality Among Individuals With Nonalcoholic #Fatty #Liver Disease
Evidence regarding the effect of dietary niacin intake on the risk of mortality among patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is scarce.Objective To examine the association of dietary niacin intake with all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality among individuals with NAFLD.Design, Setting, and Participants This cohort study used data from the National Health and Nutrition… Continue reading Dietary #Niacin Intake and Mortality Among Individuals With Nonalcoholic #Fatty #Liver Disease
Undiagnosed #Cirrhosis and Hepatic #Encephalopathy in a National Cohort of Veterans With #Dementia
Dementia and hepatic encephalopathy (HE) are challenging to distinguish clinically. Undiagnosed cirrhosis in a patient with dementia can lead to missed opportunities to treat HE.Objective To examine the prevalence and risk factors of undiagnosed cirrhosis and therefore possible HE in veterans with dementia.Design, Setting, and Participants A retrospective cohort study was conducted between 2009 and 2019 using… Continue reading Undiagnosed #Cirrhosis and Hepatic #Encephalopathy in a National Cohort of Veterans With #Dementia
#Dietary inflammatory index and MRI-detected #knee structural change and pain: a 10.7-year follow-up study
To determine whether the dietary inflammatory index (DII®) scores were associated with knee structural changes and pain over a 10.7-year follow-up.MethodsThis study utilised data from a prospective population-based cohort study (mean age 63 years, 51% female) in which 1,099, 875, 768 and 566 participants completed assessments at baseline, 2.6, 5.1 and 10.7 years, respectively. T1-weighted and T2-weighted… Continue reading #Dietary inflammatory index and MRI-detected #knee structural change and pain: a 10.7-year follow-up study
